Previous Split 3 Schedule and Format post

The Last Chance Qualifier for Split 3 Playoffs, also known as Knights Rivals (better translated as Knights' Path) will take place on 28th August. 2 bo5s will be played that day. Qualifier 1 will be the winner of Ascend#7 and Nirvana#2, while Qualifier 2 will be the victor between Ascend#8 and Nirvana#1.

Split 3 Playoffs will pick up the next day, featuring a shortened 8 team double elimination bracket. The top 2 teams in Group Ascend (shortened hereinafter as A1 and A2) have a bye to UB R2; A3 vs A6 and A4 vs A5 make up UB R1. Qualifiers 1 and 2 start their run with no second chances and will face the losers of UB R1 respectively. The rest of the format follows convention, with LB R2 pitting the winners from LB R1 vs the losers from the other side of the UB.

First selection for Game 1 is awarded to the higher-seeded Ascend team in UB R1. The Upper Finalist will be awarded Side and Pick selection for Game 1. For all other series in Playoffs, Game 1 first selection will be decided by a coinflip, and first selection in subsequent games in all series will be awarded to the loser of the previous game.

Knights' Path and Playoffs (with the exception of Lower Finals onwards) will be held in JDG's Beijing arena and iG's Shanghai arena. The venue in which Lower Finals, Grand Finals and Regional Finals will all be held in will be announced in a few days' time.
